Howdy folks,
It's a big big big day for us here in the Identity and Security Services team at
Microsoft!
If you've seen one of my presentations ("Identity is the new control plane"), you know that one of the things that sets us apart is our focus on delivering a complete hybrid identity solution. We want to be a one stop shop for all your identity needs, on premise and in the cloud. That includes providing a set of great security and health monitoring systems to manage and protect your identity control plane. This vision of building a complete solution motivated us to create
Azure AD Connect Health, it motivated the investments we've made in Azure MFA, and it motivates our work in machine learning applied to security detection and mitigation.
Today in the cloud we can detect and help protect your organization against a host of attacks, including brute force attacks, attacks from anonymizers, anomalous attacks from atypical locations and many other types of attacks. Customers have told us that they LOVE the level of monitoring and security we provides them. In many cases it's richer than what they get on-premises. And customers are constantly asking "Could you give me something that provides me the same level of monitoring and security for my on-premises Active Directory that you give me for Azure AD in the cloud?"
Today I'm happy to be able to answer "Why yes, we can!" [SIZE=1pt][/SIZE]
